Are you sick and tired of supporting corporations that neglect social responsibility? Then Tom's Shoes is for you! "Green Chucks" sits down with Katie Nuber, Andrew McMillian, and Megan Dempsky, three student representatives from the OSU Tom's Shoe Club. Tom's Shoes stands for "Tomorrow Shoes," it is an American footwear company founded in California by "The Amazing Race" contestant Blake Mycoskie. Tom Shoes is a for profit company based on the one for one model, for every pair of shoes a person buys, a pair of shoes is given to a child in need. OSU Tom's Shoe has held numerous campus events such as the Style your Sole event and the one mile barefoot walk, also referred to as the " mbop Hanson walk." Katie, Andrew, and Megan are three passionate students who dedicate an enormous amount of time to the Tom Shoes Cause. Although the three student representatives have three completely different personalities and lifestyles it does not get in the way of them working together. The three students talk about leadership, how to run a club, and how to join the OSU chapter of Tom's Shoes and how to support the international Tom's Shoe movement.
